What a fabulous essay combining your thought-provoking and action-oriented questions on caregiving, your summary of Ai-jen Poo's interview and Amy's insights in her heartfelt newsletter about memory care for her mother with dementia! Every caregiver as well as middle-aged people who will need care in the not-so-far future should give this a read.
Thank you, Louisa. I hope we can each leverage the words of Ai-Jen Poo to start/continue the uncomfortable conversations about caregiving together. Everyone's journey is unique, yet there are universal themes.
I appreciate your support and I'm starting to write another piece, thanks to you!
@Victoria thank you SO MUCH for all that you do to bring important and critical information to carers and to everyone (because we will all either be carers or need care or most likely both, in our lives). I appreciate the time you took to transcribe the key points of this important interview with Ai-jen Poo. Thank you for sharing some of my own writing on this topic from my Substack, Living in 3D: Divorce, Dementia and Destiny. Like you, I am committed to shining a light on the personal struggle of caregiving and sounding the community call to action. Together, we can make a difference. I especially appreciate your recommendation of this CNBC podcast with Ai-jen Poo, one of the most passionate advocates on the need for a care economy. In my own conversation with her, she radiated intelligence, passion and deep empathy, for everyone involved: family caregivers, those in need of care, and care workers who are largely underpaid and undervalued.
Thank you, Amy! I'm so glad we're arm-in-arm, walking together. As you said in your article, it's impossible to do everything alone, and if our writing and calls to action support just 1 person, then it's a start and worthwhile! Ai-Jen Poo's ability to succinctly articulate the broad context, issues AND the potential opportunity in front of us, is the power of this interview. The fact she said, 'it's a triple D effect' was a sign for you I thought!!
